Rangefinder Radar on SmartDashboard
 

I have been trying to create a radar-type graph on my team's smart dashboard. What I want it to do is, since our rangefinders are on 180 degree servos, is to have a line plot that instead of using time, it uses values 0 - 180, that would print to the graph based on the current angle our servo is on. I want it to go back and forth(whenever it reaches 180 it goes into reverse back to 0, and vice-versa) and wipe the angles previous data. If anyone could help me find out how to do this, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

You can try making your own control in the new smart dashboard using this guide. The guide itself is for a different kind of object but the concept should apply to what your trying to do.

I haven't looked at the SmartDashboard graphs, but in other IDEs I've been able to "wrap" angles and not get a vertical connection by including a point with a "NaN" in the data stream after the last one at one end and before the first one at the new end.

That's really cool! I kinda want to do that
